Hi Ya! :)
Well I just found and joined this board this afternoon and decided to hang out in this forum cause it would be nice to have support from others who have so much to lose! My name is Becky and I'm from Ohio. I have diabetes and asthma, and need to get a grip on my weight once and for all! I quit smoking on March 28th, almost 5 months ago and gained about 50 pounds, like I needed anymore weight gained....anyway It's been hard to do but managed to quit a 2 1/2 pack a day habit, yes I still have some hair left!! Heheheh! But now I am up to an all time high weight of 300 pounds and I am miserable! Hope I can get some advice and friendship cause I need all the help I can get! This is my first day on South Beach and I am having sugar withdrawls, I think?? Got a headache from h.... and feel bad but I am hanging in there by a thread. Just hoping to make it through the first day!

How did you quit smoking? One of these days I have to try it again... I mean, one of these days I will quit! Congrats on your 5 months!!! That's awesome.
If you have down days on your weight-loss journey, just remind yourself that you quit smoking (and 2 1/2 is ALOT!) and so you can make it through this, as well.
I have to say, you seem very happy (: Your post made me smile!
